Origen
Originaria de zonas tropicales de América del Sur y Central.

Descripción
El impresionante follaje de la flamestar calathea, originaria de las zonas tropicales de América, llama la atención de inmediato. Las capas de patrones en forma de llamas en las hojas proporcionan una pieza central de hojas más atrevida que el promedio o un adorno para la mesa de café, trayendo la vitalidad de la jungla tropical a su hogar. La ubicación es importante para esta planta; le gusta ser cálido y húmedo como su hogar tropical, pero los diferentes niveles de luz y calor a lo largo del año pueden afectar esto, así que esté atento a su suelo para asegurarse de que no se empape ni se seque demasiado. Al igual que los humanos con su calefacción central, a las Calatheas les gusta sentirse bien.

Luz
Prospera con luz brillante e indirecta, pero tolera algo de sombra ya que la parte inferior roja de sus hojas impide que se escape demasiada luz.

Agua
Deje que las primeras pulgadas de tierra se sequen entre riegos; Si es posible, use agua de lluvia en lugar de agua del grifo, o al menos deje que el agua del grifo repose durante 24 horas para permitir que los químicos que contiene se asienten. Riegue con agua tibia o tibia para evitar impactar a la planta.

Humedad
Esta planta necesita mucha humedad, por lo que agradecerá una nebulización regular y no estar demasiado cerca de un radiador u otra fuente de calor que pueda secarla.

Suelo

Plante en un suelo de drenaje rápido pero que retenga la humedad. Lo ideal sería una mezcla con corteza o perlita añadida. Trasplante cada dos años en primavera y riegue con un día de anticipación para combatir el shock del trasplante.

Alimento
Alimente cada cuatro aguas durante la temporada de crecimiento y reduzca a cada seis en otoño e invierno. Riegue previamente la tierra antes de aplicar productos "listos para usar" para proteger las raíces.

Temperatura

La temperatura ideal es superior a 20°C; asegúrese de que no haga más de 12°C en invierno.

Apto para mascotas
Sí, ¡pero mordisquear demasiado no será bueno para las mascotas, los humanos pequeños ni para la planta!

Consejos principales para los brotes
Esta planta puede ser exigente, así que elija su ubicación con cuidado. Si está en un lugar especialmente brillante, recuerde que necesitará rociar/ regar con más frecuencia para retener los niveles de humedad.

Crecerán pequeños nódulos hinchados a lo largo de las raíces de Calathea; esto es saludable y se utilizan para almacenar agua y nutrientes, ¡así que no los cortes cuando trasplantes!

¿Sabías?
El nombre 'calathea', del griego καλαθος ('cesta'), proviene del uso de las hojas cerosas de la planta para fabricar cestas impermeables y transportar pescado en América del Sur.

       

      Important Information

      If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

      We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

      Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

      If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

      We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

      We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

      If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

      Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

      Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

      We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

      *Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.

We use paper tape and all our branded materials included are fully recyclable.
